Is Graffiti Art? Yes or No?
If you walk down the streets of a city, I think we’ve all seen graffiti. Maybe it was a cool, retro style of letters or an original cartoon against an ombre background, but, we’ve all seen it. Graffiti is very common. The debate had arisen on whether graffiti is art, or not. And as you know, I decided to take this topic and give my opinion on it. As a little-above-average artist, I do have a couple of ideas on this creative debate. It’s mua , Hibba! I’m here with another debate! This idea was suggested by the one and only @mary.christmas35 . Thank you so much for this idea! A lot of people may disagree with me, because isn’t graffiti just… vandalism? No. It is so much more than that. Let’s start with the definition of graffiti. That always helps. According to Wikipedia: “ Graffiti is writing or drawings made on a wall or other surface, usually without permission and within public view.” It’s very stereotypical to think graffiti is illegal, first of all. It’s not.
